Can it be added to the rinse tank to help with stiff fibers that are not softening with an acid rinse?

They used to do it as an addition to rubbing alcohol and as a pre-spray mist. Very little of the downey in the mix, light rinse afterward.
Done it once seemed to do the job. No idea if there was any re-soil issue as client moved away,

IMO, I would be more worried about discoloration.

It smelled good.

I liked the fragrance and it really helped on natural fibers. :cool:

Have groomed a lot of cotton velvet over the years with fabric softener (1 oz. per 5 gal. water) misted on and then groomed.

Neutra Soft was Prochem standard Rinse product mixed with a fragrance. I miss it.

Here's the short answer: You can make "Neutrasoft" by mixing 2 ounces of All Fiber Rinse and 6 ounces of Springfresh Duo in a gallon of water.

If anyone wants the long answer as to what this product was and why it came and left our industry about 30 years ago, I'll indulge you.

And Mike, I'm not sure its a good idea to try to run such a product (laundry or this formula) through your truck mount. To achieve the dilution ratio you need, you'll use too much of one of the products, and not enough of the other. If you feel you need to use a softener, lightly (LIGHTLY) mist it on the fabric after you rinse, then groom it.

You are now leaving a residue that may or may not lessen the effectiveness of your protector. I've not tested as to whether or not that would be true.
